Welcome to the Course Pages of Holland and the Dutch!
If you want to hear my Dutch introduction: Click
here

(please allow the wav.file to load fully
before using it... The sound quality may be a bit 'foggy' but this is the best I
can do right now...)
I guess you understand that I'm saying: "Welcome at Holland and the
Dutch."
In written language it is: "Welkom bij Holland and the Dutch".

***

You will find these little sound (wav) files everywhere, to get a ring of how
the Dutch language sounds.

Hope you will enjoy these lessons as much as I am making them...
If there are topics you would like me to address in a future lesson: Just write a note tocatmar@planet.nl

I will see how I can fit it in...

OK, here we go:

In the introduction you have seen that Holland is also called the
Netherlands. In our pre course assignment I have asked you to check out a few
things. Just rehearsing here:

- Which countries are The Netherlands' neighbors?
- Which Sea is at our West Coast?
- What language is spoken in Holland?
